The Beyond the walls field experience lesson today was about water equity. Scholars connected with local artist Tanya Hollifield who discussed the importance of the mural. Water is life and the conservation, the negative impact of plastic water bottles, the water cycle from raindrops in the forest to our faucets at home impact the whole globe.
